Rumor: Apple Black Friday Ad- 25% off Macs, 30% off iPod (updated)

The Boy Genius Report published what may be an email Apple will be sending out to its a hoax email with an overview of what were supposed to be Black Friday discounts.

update: As Jeremy posted in the comment section below, it looks like this promo was not put together by Apple. We’ll keep an eye out for Apple’s real Black Friday deals.

According to the image, Apple will be offering 30% off most iPods on Black Friday. This deal supposedly includes the iPod Nano, iPod Touch and iPod Classic. It will exclude the iPod Shuffle and iPhone.

The screenshot mentions ‘up to 25% off all Macs.’While the company may offer 25% off one computer on Black Friday, we don’t expect to see such a big discount on the MacBook and MacBook Pro.

According to the screen grab, select Apple retail locations will be open at 6am on Black Friday.

It'd be nice if this were true, but it's so unlike Apple both in it's content (Apple really doesn't need to discount anything) and it's presentation (yuck!)

Check out the comments from the BGR article. About 5 minutes after the rumor was posted, someone commented a link to a fan-made Apple wallpaper that seems very clearly to be what this “ad” was based on.

I agree with Jeremy. This must be fake. But if you are looking to buy non-Apple products on sale, then black friday deals are up at superwarehouse.com. Check them out! They have Apple products as well, but not on sale.
